Cord Garcia

Scott Stewart put the field on the money bubble and the other tables were completing their action to begin hand-for-hand play. But before they made it that far, there were two big hands going down.

Vitor Coelho was facing a big bet at one table but saved his chips for a later play. On Table 21, the small blind player moved all in for 36,000 from the small blind and Cord Garcia called in the big.

Garcia: 9d8d
Opponent: KdTc

Garcia was behind but paired one of his live cards on the 8h7d2c flop. Neither the 4d turn nor the 7c river changed anything and Garcia sent another player out.

That elimination put the WPTDeepStack field in the money without bothering to go hand-for-hand.
